No Longer... Poem by Nestor David Armas

Have you ever thought
That maybe;
I wanted to get caught,
Wanted to
Break your heart
You certainly
Played your part,
Followed your intuition
But I wasn't
Practicing inhibition,
Staying out
Till the morning,
Coming home
To you sitting
There mourning,
The loss of
Our once upon a time
Fairy tale start
Turned tart like a lime,
Shattered looking glass;
Can't bring it back,
Listen to the jazz
Playing softly
In the background
Do you really think
I want to go another round?
Made the exit crystal clear
For you to leave my dear,
I had left the building already
Fire exit
I set off all the alarms
But you chose
To ignore it all
Like one dismisses
A blocked ID call,
I'm immune to your charms;
Just leave me be,
I'm no longer your teddy...
